It takes some serious commitment, and a penchant for cleanliness, to be able to have a kamidana of one's own, and I'm just not at that level of tidiness yet. Alas.
The Shinto seminar certainly has dinner on Saturday included, I'm not sure about lunches on Sat. and Sun. though. There should be some info on the website, and in the Yahoo group (are you on that?). In any case, I really want to do that as well at some stage, and in fact Sensei was asking me if we wanted to do this one, but I told him we're too busy. They have them about three times a year, though--in March, July (I think), and then this fall one in October. So, there will be other times to do it. Misogi is always done on the Sunday morning in that as well--it would be interesting to do it with like 20 people!
I'll let you know when we schedule the misogi in Nov. As a first-timer at that time of year, you'll certainly learn very quickly if you'd be up to doing it again!
